Our History

Ohio, United States
Having recently retired we are fulfilling our long time dream. We began our camping life with a tent in 1969 adjusting as each of our three sons arrived over the years and gradually progressed to a 32' Class A in 2007. Even after our sons became too busy with their own interests, we continued dreaming over the years. The Louisville, KY 2003 Great North American RV Rally and the book "Movin' On" convinced us that a motorhome after retirement was really for us! In 2007 we sold our home and disposed of most of our belongings and awaited the wife's retirement on February 1, 2008. We were out in our first motorhome ten times in our first summer in 2007, with our grandson joining us eight of those ten times. Since he must stay behind with his mom and dad to continue school, we told him he can join us on vacations (by car or plane) anywhere we are as we travel the US. Imagine the history lessons he could acquire! However, Mom and Dad don't look at it that way, especially the flying. Fortunately we don't miss work one bit!! We just miss the friends there. We have many hobbies to keep us busy when we decide to sit still for a day. Hope to see you on the road.

REMODELING the MOTORHOME ???

So sorry for the problem with the Blog for Solomon's Castle.  I almost had to redo it from scratch!!! I'm not sure why the pictures did not carry over the first time.  Always something new.

Yesterday, March 16th, Gary tackled the removal of our microwave/convection oven which bit the dust Sunday. He had to take it out to get to the fuse inside the oven, which he replaced. Thank goodness for a friend, Skip, here in the park who was willing to help.  I sure wouldn't have been much help!!
But the new fuse blew also!  Since the oven is fourteen years old and was such a brute to remove, we have decided it would be best to buy something new.  Not sure what we will get, but will rethink what will be easiest to install.  We do cook for ourselves, so need something!!
And of course, a control panel was in
the way when Gary and Skip started
to drop the oven!!

Sorry I put the STUFF back on
the counter before taking the picture!
Guess I will make this a short one so that we can drive over to Sebring to window shop a little after Gary gets back from his walk.  I sure hope that traffic is not heavy since the schools are closed and kids are out and about.
I did go outside after they finished and dug up two bushes that did not have much in the way of leaves or blossoms and took them and all other trash to the back of the park.  I also put three poinsettias that were in pots into the ground.  Anxious to see what they do by next year.  There is a red one here in the park that is taller than the park model home that it is by.  Amazing!!
Take care and stay healthy!!
I have several other things to write about but will let it wait for another slow day.
